City braces for financial uncertainty in airport takeover
A
Following the operationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transfer, however, the city will still have to navigate its way through bureaucratic obstacles before the airport becomes economically viable, as council members had envisioned when they directed staff in 2010 to negotiate an early termination of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-year lease. The county, which runs three airports, has had a hard time making Palo Alto Airport profitable. According to a 2006 business plan, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment in
the facility has exceeded revenues by $808,000 in the first 39 years of the lease, which was originally set to expire in 2017. Even in the best case scenario, the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations will be fueled for at least three years by loans from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Fund. The council agreed last year to loan $325,000 to the newly created Airport Fund. Earlier this month, the council adopted a budget that raises the sum by $235,000 for a total loan amount of $560,000. The
airport plans to hire a new management analyst (who will earn a salary of $155,000) and spend close to $300,000 on maintenance work, inspections and ground support for the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control towers, according to the budget. The facility is expected to stay in the red at least until fiscal year 2018. The city has at least one big reason for optimism, though. In 2010,

ELECTION 2014
Council race adds one
College Terrace resident Seelam Reddy hopes to join city leadership
by Gennady Sheyner s a retired aerospace engineer and a newcomer to Palo Alto, Seelam P. Reddy is at once a perfect representative of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technological might and a total outsider to the local political scene. Reddy, who announced Tuesday that he plans to run for the City Council, is not at all deterred by his status as a political neophyte. He also seems to be the only candidate in the race with no strong opinions about the types of issues that have dominated City Hall conversations in recent years: parking, building density and downtown growth. He is quite confident that if elected, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have no trouble bringing himself up to speed and doing his part to improve the way the city functions. Born in India, Reddy moved to the United States more than four decades ago to attend Texas Tech University. After living in Sweetwater, Texas, he moved to California in 1977 and lived in Newport Beach before arriving in Palo Alto a year and a half ago. His resume includes stints at McDonnell Douglas, Ludlum Measurements, Hughes Electronics and Boeing Company, where he spent a decade before retiring in 2010. These days, the College Terrace resident, who goes by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea,â&#x20AC;? works as a consultant in mergers and acquisitions for VMWare while looking for ways to contribute to the city where he chose to retire. In discussing with the Weekly his desire to serve, Reddy focused on his personal attributes rather on

World War II veteran Ned Gallagher, 99, talks with his daughter Mary Gallagher about his memories surviving the attack and sinking of the USS Houston in 1942. He later became a prisoner of war.
HISTORY
At 99, Palo Altan recalls WWII shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sinking
Ned Gallagher is one of a handful of living USS Houston survivors
by Sue Dremann
S
eventy-two years after a Japanese ship fired 8-inch shells into the USS Houston, Palo Alto resident Ned Gallagher still vividly recalls how he escaped the sinking ship near the island of Java during World War II. From his battle station near the quarter deck, Gallagher, a U.S. Marine, could see the dark water was just 4 feet below. The bugle call signaled for all hands
to abandon ship, and the Houston was listing about 20 to 25 degrees. He simply stepped off the side and dropped into the sea, he recalled. As his shipmates struggled for survival, Gallagher saw the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chaplain, a man named Rentz, give his life preserver to another man. Then the chaplain drowned, he said. More than 700 men of the approximately 1,000-person crew lost their lives during the
Battle of Sunda Strait. The Houston was the flagship of the Pacific fleet, a successfully elusive target dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast.â&#x20AC;? It was President Franklin Rooseveltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite ship, Gallagher said. The ship was part of an Allied force that included British, Australian, Dutch and American ships. A few days prior to sinking, the heavy cruiser had taken a few
hits during the Battle of the Java Sea, but it was not enough to knock the ship out. On Feb. 28, 1942, only two Allied ships were still afloat: the Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth. Shortly after midnight on March 1, a Japanese onslaught overwhelmed them. The Perth went down first; the Houston fought

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re basically ignoring the elephant in the garage.
â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jim Barbera, an electric-vehicle advocate, on the need to deal with cars as emitters of greenhouse gases. See story on page 7.
FOR THE BIRDS ... Architecture is always a hot topic in Palo Alto, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rarely framed as a matter of life and death. Unless, of course, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bird lover. Shani Kleinhaus, an environmental advocate with the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, says buildings with too much glass pose a danger for birds, particularly ones that are young or in the midst of migration. To that end, she is trying to encourage Palo Alto officials to adopt birdfriendly design guidelines for new buildings (she was set to give a presentation on the topic to the Architectural Review Board on July 3). Kleinhaus said recent research shows that while glass buildings are generally thought to be energy efficient, the optimal proportion of glass wall is between 25 and 40 percent. Going beyond 50 or 60 percent becomes both wasteful, she said, and hazardous for birds. The danger is particularly severe when the glass is reflective or when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s placed around an attractive destination such as a green roof or a passageway. From that perspective, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Mitchell Park Library and Community Center (which features both glass walls and a green roof) â&#x20AC;&#x153;looks like a model example of what not to do,â&#x20AC;? Kleinhaus told the Weekly. Some cities and companies have already taken actions to deal with the problem. San Francisco and Oakland have ordinances for bird-friendly building designs, Kleinhaus said, and companies such as Apple and Google have been working with the Audubon Society to reduce the threat posed by their glassy buildings. She noted that the new developments on San Antonio Road will have ceramic outlines around glass panels, which will serve as a warning to birds. BOOSTED BENTLEY ... â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the best of times: He found a parking space for his Bentley. It was the worst of times: His Bentley vanished.â&#x20AC;? One Town Square poster on PaloAltoOnline. com adeptly described this case of a missing six-figure Bentley that was reported stolen from the 800 block of Stanford Avenue in Palo Alto last Friday. Police located this week the blue 2013 two-door Bentley Continental GT convertible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has a manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggested

retail price (MSRP) of just under $177,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; far away from Palo Alto, in Los Angeles. Palo Alto Det. Sgt. Brian Philip said an initial report stated the car had been parked for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant amount of time, six weeks or something,â&#x20AC;? on Stanford Avenue though he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know if the owner had reparked it in the same area or if it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been moved during that time. Residential Palo Alto streets generally have a 72-hour limit on continuous parking. The car was noticed missing when the owner went to retrieve it just after 8 p.m. on Friday, June 27, according to the San Jose Mercury News. The car registration had a Menlo Park address, Philip said. He said the Bentley was found unoccupied in Los Angeles, is being recovered and will be returned to its owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of things we still have questions about,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be continuing the investigation to determine how exactly it ended up down there.â&#x20AC;? NO SPILT MILK PAIL ... Fans of Mountain Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Milk Pail Market, the European-style grocer on California Street near San Antonio Road, are rejoicing this week with the announcement that an agreement with developer Merlone Geier is allowing the business to stay put. Threatened with not having enough parking as redevelopment of the San Antonio Shopping Center moves ahead, Milk Pail Market owner Steve Rasmussen said Tuesday he had reached a last-minute deal with Merlone Geier that grants Milk Pail customers access to 11 parking spaces in a new parking garage, enough to meet city requirements for the store to stay in business past 2016, when its current parking agreement expires. According to the Mountain View Voice, Rasmussen said the length of the agreement term is â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantialâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; giving people plenty of years to enjoy the imported cheeses, fresh produce and imported food stuffs the Milk Pail specializes in. Merlone Geierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second phase of development at the center is slated to replace Ross and BevMo with a 167-room hotel, a large public square, 109,000 square feet of retail space, two sixstory office buildings, a 50,000square-foot movie theater and six-level parking garage with more than 1,300 parking spaces, and an office garage with 1,174 spaces.

TRANSPORTATION
Palo Alto speeds ahead with new electric-vehicle requirements
City to require all new multi-family complexes, hotels and commercial buildings to accommodate car-charging equipment
by Gennady Sheyner
F
aster than a speeding Tesla, Palo Alto has dramatically expanded its requirements for electric-vehicle chargers, which thanks to a recently passed law must now be present at every new apartment complex, hotel and commercial building. After the briefest of discussions and without a word of opposition, the City Council adopted on June 16 a new ordinance that requires all new multi-family developments, office buildings and hotels to provide the needed circuitry for easy installation of car-charging equipment. The requirement follows the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action last year, when it passed a law mandating that every new single-family home be wired for electric chargers. The new ordinance, which the council approved by an 8-0 vote (Greg Schmid was absent), sets different requirements for various types of new developments, though in each case it calls for a large proportion of parking spots to either include charging equipment or provide the circuity that would make it easy to install such equipment. The ordinance was drafted by a specially appointed
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Task Force and endorsed unanimously by the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Policy and Services Committee before earning the approval of the full council. The law requires new multifamily residential developments to include one charging outlet or one actual charger for each housing unit. In addition, they will have to install either outlets, chargers or circuitry to enable future outlet installation for at least 25 percent of guest parking spots. New hotels will also be required to accommodate electric vehicles at 30 percent of their parking spaces. They will have the option of doing so by supplying a conduit, an outlet or charging equipment. In addition, they will be required to include charging equipment at 10 percent of their spaces. Similar rules will apply to other new commercial developments, though the ordinance requires 25 percent of their parking spaces rather than 30 percent to accommodate electric vehicles. They will also have to include charging equipment at 5 percent of their
parking spaces. City officials estimate that the new law will raise the cost of constructing a new development by less than 1 percent. Peter Pirnejad, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of development services, estimated that a developer building a 30,000-square-foot commercial building would have to spend about $7.5 million in construction costs. Installing the electric equipment is expected to cost about $64,170, he said. For a 30-unit residential complex, complying with the ordinance would add about $81,000 to a construction bill of about $9 million, he said. In adopting the ordinance, Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials and electric-vehicle enthusiasts stressed the environmental benefits of promoting the switch from gas to electric. Last year, the city hit a big milestone in its green efforts when it adopted a carbon-neutral electricity portfolio. Now, officials want to spread this clean electricity to cars, which are responsible for an estimated 40 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning and Community Envi-
ronment Department. Craig Lewis, executive director of the local nonprofit Clean Coalition, called the new ordinance a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous opportunityâ&#x20AC;? because it allows the city to link its transportation and electricity efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, we have a chance to take that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;carbon-freeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and extend it to the transportation sector,â&#x20AC;? Lewis told the council. The report from city planners cites a 2012 study by the California Center for Sustainable Energy and the Air Resources Board, which found that about 1,000 new plug-in vehicles are sold in the state every month. At that time, Californians owned more than 12,000 plug-in electric vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; roughly 35 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total. The rate is particularly high in Palo Alto, where Tesla Motors is based. Michael Thompson, an early convert to electric vehicles who now serves on the citizens task force, estimated that close to 5 percent of the drivers in Palo Alto use electric vehicles. Jim Barbera, who also drives an electric vehicle, lauded the new ordinance and stressed the
significance of cars as emitters of greenhouse gases. Other ecofriendly measures such as switching to LED lights or weatherproofing your house help, he said, but by focusing on those â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re basically ignoring the elephant in the garage.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a long way toward moving us in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? Barbera said. The council agreed, with councilmen Pat Burt and Greg Scharff both lauding the new ordinance for furthering the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status as a leader in the emerging electricvehicle field. Scharff, a Tesla driver, noted that many people who live in apartments want to buy electric vehicles but find it challenging when their buildings donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have charging equipment. In many cases, apartment owners arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willing to install the equipment, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, this will move the process forward to make it easy and effective for anyone who wants to own an electric vehicle to be able to do so,â&#x20AC;? Scharff said. N Staff Writer Gennady Sheyner can be e-mailed at gsheyner@ paweekly.com.
CITY HALL
Palo Alto launches City Hall makeover
City to create new meeting space, refurbish old rooms in buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lobby
alo Alto officials wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to venture far this summer for signs that construction season is now in full bloom. With the long-delayed construction of the Mitchell Park Library entering its final stretch and the controversial makeover of California Avenue in full swing, the city is embarking on an ambitious, $4.5 million renovation of City Hall, which includes a new glasswalled meeting room, renovated lobby, refurbished conference room, new carpets and upholstering in the Council Chambers and a personnel shuffle that will shift staff from at least four different departments to new locations. Much like the ongoing revamp of California Avenue, the City Hall renovation started as a modest concept before expanding in ambition and cost. Two years ago, the chief goal was to refurbish the perpetually cramped Council Conference Room, which is located next to the Council Chambers and regularly hosts meetings of council committees and city commissions. The acoustically challenged room with low ceilings, stacked chairs and the dim fluorescent ambiance of a 1970s classroom has been bear-
P
ing the brunt of council ridicule for years for its spartan accommodations. With the renovation project, the room will be refurbished, enlarged, stripped it of its role as a public-meeting space and turned into a staff-training room, Public Works Director Mike Sartor said. In addition, the city has been looking at expanding and refurbishing the Human Resources Conference Room, a narrow space next to the Council Chambers. The smaller room is routinely used by the council for closedsession deliberations. With the Council Conference Room relinquishing its status as the default meeting space outside the Council Chambers, the city is now looking to build a larger and more modern public-meeting room in a corner of the City Hall lobby, a location currently occupied by a portion of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s People Strategy and Operations Department (commonly known as Human Resources). The new meeting room will have glass walls, space for 55 chairs and sliding doors so seating can extend into the lobby if needed, Sartor said. It will also be equipped with modern media
equipment, including multiple LCD screens, high-definition cameras and wall-mounted speakers, according to a recent report from the Public Works Department. Sartor said the scope of the project began to change in 2012, after staff held a series of design charettes to consider the best way to transform the first floor of City Hall. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the ideas for new meeting spaces and shuffling departments began to take shape. City Manager James Keene said the focus of the project is to make the ground floor of City Hall â&#x20AC;&#x153;welcoming to the public and also work for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business.â&#x20AC;? The Hamilton Avenue building, which was designed by architect Edward Durell Stone in 1967, was built in what Keene called â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably the absolutely worst time in American history for a college town.â&#x20AC;? The atmosphere of civil unrest and turmoil, he said, may have contributed to the fact that the city ended up with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost windowless building with glass that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be brokenâ&#x20AC;? and a ground floor that immediately leads a visitor into an empty â&#x20AC;&#x153;dead space.â&#x20AC;? It perhaps doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help,

Revamping Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Hall will include renovation of the lobby, with a digital media art display on a large wall near a new glass-walled meeting room. he quipped, that the first city employees visitors encounter are in Revenue Collections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody was going to build a City Hall, in the era of taking over City Hall and school administrations and everything else, that was going to be welcoming to the public,â&#x20AC;? Keene said. The renovation project aims to change that, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public really comes here to participate in the civic life of the city,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to have space that works.â&#x20AC;? Once the project is complete, visitors to City Hall will be greeted with a giant digital touchscreen that could be divided into numerous smaller screens and will feature art projects, information about city events, videos, photos of local neighborhoods and live broadcasts of public meetings. The city is also planning to unveil an extensive wayfinding and building-signage program in City Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a component that is set to be evaluated by the Architectural Review Board on July 17. The city also plans to replace the carpets and the bench upholstery inside the Council Chambers, the large meeting room where the council holds all of its regular meetings. The work will be concluded in the next month while the council is away on its July recess. For many city workers, the project will bring more than just aesthetic enhancements. The renovation plans include what Sartor called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;domino effectâ&#x20AC;? of shifting departmental locations. The first-floor offices of People Strategy and Operations, for example, will be consolidated with the rest of the department on the second floor to make room for the expanded

In NSA-funded initiative, Palo Alto students sharpen their Mandarin skills
Study of traditional Chinese folk tale is part of U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;strategic languageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program
by Chris Kenrick s Americans debate revelations about sweeping data collection by the National Security Agency, the secretive federal department has funded a seemingly more benign agenda at Ohlone Elementary School in Palo Alto. In a summer program known as STARTALK, 20 fifth- and sixthgraders are honing their Mandarin speaking, listening, reading and writing skills through indepth study of the centuries-old Chinese folk tale â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Magic Paintbrush.â&#x20AC;? Students have read the text in Mandarin, sung its stories, incorporated its lessons into their own 21st-century versions of the folk tale and created iMovies of the rewritten versions. On Thursday, July 3, they were to perform the original story in colorful, handmade costumes for their parents. The Ohlone program is one of more than 100 similar summer initiatives across the country aimed at boosting Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; abilities in Chinese languages
A
and other â&#x20AC;&#x153;less commonly taught languages,â&#x20AC;? said Duarte Silva, the Stanford University-based executive director of the California World Language Project. Those â&#x20AC;&#x153;strategic languagesâ&#x20AC;? include Arabic, Russian, Hindi and Farsi, with Korean soon to be added to the list. Since the federal program began in 2006 Silva has been securing summer STARTALK grants, $90,000 of which this year is funding the four-week Ohlone program as well as a program for Sunnyvale middle school students that began this week. Later in the summer Silva and Stanford colleague Helene Chan will present their research about language training in a workshop for language teachers from across the nation. STARTALK had its origins under President George W. Bush, Silva said, when in the wake of Sept. 11 the State Department realized it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;having trouble finding individuals with the language skills to fulfill our diplomatic missions. The Department of Defense was
having the same issue, especially with cultures and officers not understanding the cultures where they were going.â&#x20AC;? The multi-agency federal effort known as the National Security Language Initiative, aims to â&#x20AC;&#x153;dramatically increase the number of Americans learning critical-need foreign languages ... through new and expanded programs from kindergarten through university and into the workforce.â&#x20AC;? Such details were probably lost on the fifth- and sixth-graders in the Ohlone classroom of coteachers Claire Albert and Shaohua She as they crafted clay sets for their iMovies, sewed costumes, sang a song with paintbrush props and rehearsed their lines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all in Mandarin. Most students in the class are recent graduates of Ohloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K-5 Mandarin Immersion Program and several others are â&#x20AC;&#x153;heritage speakersâ&#x20AC;? at a similar level, Silva said. In Mandarin testing, the Ohlone students are performing at the

Mandarin students Hannah Schendel and Juliana Steil rehearse their lines for a performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Magic Paintbrushâ&#x20AC;? as part of a federally funded program at Ohlone Elementary School to promote â&#x20AC;&#x153;strategic languages.â&#x20AC;? level of students who have taken three years of high school Chinese, Silva said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a considerable amount of language behind them,â&#x20AC;? he said. Since Mandarin Immersion in Palo Alto ends with fifth grade, students will try to maintain the language by other means through middle school until they can resume school study in high school. The kindergarten-throughcollege STARTALK program is one of more than a dozen educational and exchange programs for students and teachers under the National Security Language Initiative, a joint effort of the U.S. Departments of Education, State, Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence Programs. STARTALK is led by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence Programs, with the NSA as â&#x20AC;&#x153;executive agent for the intelligence community,â&#x20AC;? according to a federal circular describing the program.

IMMIGRATION
Undocumented immigrant aims to give others a leg up
by Elena Kadvany
S
arahi Espinoza Salamanca doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her story to repeat itself. Some years ago, she was a promising high school student in Los Angeles, so much so that the University of California at Los Angeles recruited her for her high grades and many extracurricular activities. But Salamanca is an undocumented immigrant. Her parents brought her to the United States from Mexico when she was 4 years old. Without a Social Security number, she could not apply for the financial aid she needed to pay for UCLA tuition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like I had my ticket to go â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was very difficult for me to find out that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be able to go to the college that I wanted to because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anybody who could help people in my situation at the time.â&#x20AC;? The 24-year-old East Palo Alto resident has set out to be that person for other undocumented students. Last year she launched a website, sarahi.tv, with links to scholarships available to undocumented students, local networking events and conferences, news articles on immigration reform, video interviews with undocumented youth and personal writing pieces. Her website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was built by a friend, but she has since taken over after teaching herself how to write HTML â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also caught the attention of Facebookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immigration-reform lobby group FWD.us. She was one of 20 undocumented
students invited to participate in a national DREAMers hackathon, which focused on immigrationreform projects and culminated in a 24-hour coding session at LinkedIn last November. She was also honored at the White House June 17 as one of 10 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Champions of Change,â&#x20AC;? illegal immigrants who â&#x20AC;&#x153;serve as success stories and role models in their academic and professional spheres,â&#x20AC;? a White House statement read. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to make a difference for students who go through high school and are undocumented and to advocate the resources that are out there because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know,â&#x20AC;? Salamanca said of her website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially being undocumented, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scared to tell people.â&#x20AC;? She said that fear, coupled with the fact that talking about oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal status is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tabooâ&#x20AC;? topic, makes it difficult for undocumented students to find help or support if they want to pursue higher education. After graduating from high school, she moved back to the Bay Area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where she originally came with her parents when they first immigrated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and attended Foothill College. Because she graduated from a California high school, she qualified under state law AB540 to attend Foothill College and pay in-state tuition, rather than the much higher international cost. She worked the summer betire as it is generally accepting of diversity, he said, but if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one subject on which he disagrees with the council, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxes. He said he opposes the Seelam councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to raise the ho- â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seaâ&#x20AC;? Reddy tel-tax rate in November. This is consistent with his general opposition to taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get money from different means,â&#x20AC;? Reddy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe we should raise taxes for anybody. We should lower taxes.â&#x20AC;? He also said he believes the city needs â&#x20AC;&#x153;more governance than government.â&#x20AC;? Rather than making new rules, the city should focus on overseeing and improving its existing operations. His believes his experience in the corporate sector â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which includes work on budgets, audits and personnel decisions, and his numerous leadership positions
fore entering college â&#x20AC;&#x201D; babysitting, washing peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes, any cash-only jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to pay her own way, she said. She had been mostly on her own since she was 16, when her mother, in the process of securing residency, returned to Mexico to request a waiver required as part of the application process. She was told she would be able to return, legally, in six months, but that turned out not to be true. This November, it will be nine years since she left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in Mexico,â&#x20AC;? Salamanca said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was caught in the system.â&#x20AC;? Salamancaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, who went back to Mexico years before, was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; creating a circumstance Salamanca said is common for immigrant youth: choosing between furthering her education and supporting her family financially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stayed for as long as I could (in school) but my mom just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle the bills and my dad always being sick and having to take a taxi to the hospital every time he got sick or calling an ambulance,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it by herself anymore. ... So then I made the decision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; do I stay and kind of ignore everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening or do I just drop out of college and work as much as I can and send them as much money as I can?â&#x20AC;? She dropped out of Foothill and worked full time for the next two years, sending her parents as much money as she could until her father died in March 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t motivate us to go to school,â&#x20AC;? she reflected. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lends itself well to this task. In May, Reddy took his first stab at civic participation when he applied for a spot on the Planning and Transportation Commission. In his application, when asked about commission issues that are compatible to his experience, he listed as an entry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Integrating all people to work for Palo Alto to be the best place to live on Earth.â&#x20AC;? And when asked about specific goals that he believes the commission should focus on, his answers included â&#x20AC;&#x153;density,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;educating to succeedâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;commitment to innovate.â&#x20AC;? But his specific positions proved hard to pin down. During the interview with the City Council, Reddy stressed his experience in management and in long-term planning at Boeing but gave only a vague answer when Councilman Greg Schmid asked about the upside and downside of increasing density in Palo Alto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a key issue in the council campaign. Reddy explained that in a capitalist society, the question of growth is a

Young East Palo Alto woman recognized at White House for her advocacy
Sarahi Salamanca was honored in June at the White House for her advocacy as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Champion of Change,â&#x20AC;? one of 10 illegal immigrants who serve as role models and success stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They motivate us to go to work and make money because we need to make ends meet because we need to feed our younger siblings. We need to pay the bills. We need to pay the rent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to go to school and hear â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Education is firstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then to go home and your parents are like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, education is not first; first you need to bring in the money, and then go to school.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Salamanca said she also wants to serve as a resource for immigrant parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my passions is not just to educate the students on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there and motivate them to go to school, but also to change the mindset of the parents and be like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know what, I understand where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from because I grew up in the same home where education wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a priority, but that needs to change in order for you to see a change in your family. ... You have to let your kids go to college and come back.â&#x20AC;? Salamanca has since returned to her own education, re-enrolling in Canada College last August. She has yet to pick a major, having trouble deciding between computer science, broadcast journalism and political science, she said. She also now has a Social Security number and a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license through constant concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always have this give and take. How much industry do we want in this town? How many units do we need for people to live comfortably so people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to drive 40 to 50 miles?â&#x20AC;? he said. The issue is likely to take center stage in the race, which will see five seats up for grabs. Councilman Larry Klein will be termed out at the end of the year and Councilwoman Gail Price, who is concluding her first term, said she will not be seeking a second. Mayor Nancy Shepherd and Councilman Greg Scharff will both try to retain their council seats while Councilwoman Karen Holman has not yet declared her decision. In announcing his candidacy this week, Reddy became the fourth non-incumbent to enter the race and the first who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a regular presence at City Hall. He will vie for the seats with Claude Ezran, a former member of the Human Relations Commission and founder of Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World DACA, the federal program that allows undocumented young people who came to the U.S. as children to obtain temporary legal status. The passage of DACA in June 2012 was seen as a victory for immigration reform, but its recipients and supporters wait with baited breath to see what the next president might do with the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. DACA allows Salamanca to work this summer, which she does for the Girl Scouts of Northern California. She also continues to advocate for immigration reform and work on her website. This week, website visitors will find a recent video of Obama speaking about delayed immigration legislation; a scholarship opportunity for eighth graders; the California DREAM Act financial aid application; and a post asking others to share testimony on how DACA has changed their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why sarahi.tv started, so that my story wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repeat and somebody whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in high school who has the grades and the potential to go straight to college doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to feel like there is nothing out there for them because there is,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to find, but it is out there.â&#x20AC;?

Both DuBois and Filseth were active in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Measure D campaign, which overturned an approved housing development on Maybell Avenue.

Fire Department unveils new ladder truck
Dozens of firefighters and community members gathered outside of Palo Alto City Hall on Monday afternoon to welcome the fire departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest member, a $1.2 million ladder truck. The star of the ceremony, the Pierce Tractor Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck, glistened, parked in front of the City Hall flagpoles. Eric Nickel, Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire chief, and Mike Sartor, director of the Public Works Department, introduced those in attendance to the new truck before cutting a ceremonial ribbon strung along its side. The old ladder truck that this one replaces was purchased in 1997 and features a 75-foot-long ladder that falls short of current standards for reaching high-rise buildings, Sartor said. Though high-rise buildings are uncommon in Palo Alto, firefighters maintain that an extra 25 feet of ladder will benefit the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our line of work, sometimes inches and feet is the difference between life and death,â&#x20AC;? Palo Alto Fire Captain Bill Dale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the sixth story of a building, and I can only make it to the fifth, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no chance of helping you. Now, I can make it to the sixth, seventh, eighth.â&#x20AC;? The new ladder truck also offers increased storage for equipment used in vehicle extrication, technical rescue operations and water evacuation. The truck will last 20 years, with 15 years in front-line service and five years as a backup, Sartor said. The fire department plans to keep the old ladder truck in reserve.

Re-entry center saved through September
East Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prisoner re-entry program received financial backing from the City Council on Tuesday night to stay open until the end of September. Council members approved $20,460 through Sept. 30 to give the David Lewis Community Reentry Center and San Mateo County time to negotiate a potential contract for maintaining the program. The center helps formerly incarcerated persons reintegrate into the community by providing case management and referrals to medical care, drug and alcohol treatment, job training, college and housing support and classes for job skills, among other services. Under the potential contract, the center would provide some reentry services for the county. The agreement would include exploring how East Palo Alto youth in the juvenile-justice system can achieve higher graduation rates through academic assessments, tutoring and mentoring. East Palo Alto would continue to provide the facilities for the program and would share information about best practices with the county. If there is no contract with the county by the end of September, the program will be phased out. The David Lewis center has an 8 percent rate of probationers/parolees who return to crime compared to approximately 67 percent statewide, Program Director Robert Hoover told the Weekly last year. Since its inception in 2011, the program has served 130 formerly incarcerated clients. It currently provides services to 76 adults and 30 juveniles, according to a city staff report.

HEALTH CARE
Eshoo and Speier to host meeting on VA
Organization hopes to provide transparency in midst of national scandal over wait times, scheduling practices
eps. Anna Eshoo and Jackie Speier will host a town hall meeting on access to care at the Palo Alto VA Hospital on Monday, July 7, to provide veterans and the community with the opportunity to ask questions and get answers about the VAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment process. Eshoo and Speier will be joined by Director of the Palo Alto VA Lisa Freeman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amid deeply disturbing revelations about delayed care of veterans throughout the nation and the scandal of information being manipulated, it is critically important to not only review wait times for care but also have veterans ask their own questions and have them addressed,â&#x20AC;? Eshoo said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This town hall meeting
R
will provide a forum for veterans in our region to share their experiences with access to care at the Palo Alto VA, and, moving forward, help to develop even better systems to improve the VA hospital for our veterans.â&#x20AC;? A 35-page independent report conducted by the VAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspector general and released May 28 found that 1,700 veterans using a Phoenix VA hospital were kept on unofficial, secret wait lists, a practice that helped staff to cover up delays in treating patients. The report drew from reports of 226 veterans who had sought appointments at the hospital in 2013, finding that 84 percent had to wait more than two weeks to be seen. At least 40 veterans died waiting for appointments in
Correction
The June 27 article â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Burning Questionâ&#x20AC;? included an incorrect figure in discussing the greenhouse-gas emissions from Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incineration of sewage sludge. According to a 2009 analysis by a citizens task force, the process releases more than 20,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.

Phoenix, according to CNN. Though the report focused on evidence from the Phoenix hospital, it called the practices a â&#x20AC;&#x153;systemic problem nationwide.â&#x20AC;? Similar allegations have emerged at other VA hospitals across the country, with 42 centers now under investigation for falsifying wait records. As of June 19, the Palo Alto VA reportedly scheduled about 89 percent of its appointments in 30 days or less and about 10 percent in more than 30 days, according to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs data. The department is now posting twice-monthly updates in the middle and end of each month to show the current status of wait times at all VAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. According to the latest data, new Palo Alto patients (those who have not been seen in this specific clinic in the last year) seeking future primary-care appointments have an average wait time of 73 days, while established patients seeking primary care wait an average of five days. New patients seeking specialty care wait on av-

New patients seeking mental health appointments at the Palo Alto VA wait an average of 24 days and established patients about four days. During the month of April, the average wait time for completed primary-care appointments for new Palo Alto patients was 18 days; for specialty care, 25 days; and mental health care, seven days. In early June, a Department of Veterans Affairs audit found that one of the Palo Alto Health Care Systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three inpatient facilities required further review, with one employee in Livermore raising concern about scheduling practices. Palo Alto VA spokesman Michael Hill-Jackson said Wednesday that the organization has not received any further requests for a visit to or information on the Livermore facility. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting will be held in Building 101 at the Palo Alto VA, 3801 Miranda Ave., from 1 to 2:30 p.m. N Online Editor Elena Kadvany can be emailed at ekadvany@ paweekly.com.

on, lasting about an hour and 15 minutes until it was hit by three torpedoes and numerous shells. Gallagher was an experienced swimmer. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to get into the crowded lifeboat. He had a better chance of making it to land than other shipmates, he reckoned. Looking around, he could make out Krakatoa and its distinctive remains after a 19thcentury volcanic explosion became his directional gauge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew that the direction was west from where I was, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go that way,â&#x20AC;? he said. Supported by a life jacket, he headed for the nearest island, Java, a grueling journey that took nine hours. Looking up at the vast sea of stars, Gallagher became aware that he was entirely alone. No one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not his shipmates, the captain nor his mother and father â&#x20AC;&#x201D; knew where he was.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;No human being knew where I was. Only God knew where I was,â&#x20AC;? he said. Faith, his constant companion, sustained him through the treacherous swim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;escapeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in mind all of the time,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. The sun was breaking when Gallagher hit land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came ashore on the island, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anybody,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was exhausted and very weak. I tried to stand up and I fell down. It took three efforts before I was successful.â&#x20AC;? After a time, other survivors arrived on shore. The southern part of the island at the port of Tilpjap had been under Allied possession, and they headed there, he said. In the distance, they saw a group of men. From the shape of their helmets, they thought they were Dutch soldiers. But they were a Japanese platoon, and Gallagher and the others were captured, he recalled. Back home, he was listed as missing in action, and his prep school, Lawrence Academy, had

Palo Alto resident Ned Gallagher still has his U.S. Marine Corps medallion and the notebook in which he jotted notes about food and restaurants to help his fellow WWII prisoners keep their minds off their captivity. dedicated a page in its yearbook to him. In his hometown of Waterveliet, New York, someone put his name on a list of men killed in action. His mother stormed into town to have it removed. After a year, his captors allowed him to send a postcard home, he said. Gallagher and the other men remained prisoners for 3.5 years. They were moved to a prisoner-ofwar camp in Japan. They received barely more than a half-cup of insect-infested rice to eat a day, he said. One more year of war, and Gallagher would not have survived. He was emaciated when he got out, he said. But the men often talked about food. Gallagher kept a tiny notebook hidden in which he wrote down the best places and dishes his imprisoned mates remembered. He still has that notebook. Mendota figs, pecan pie, scrapple; fishing locations in Brownsville, Texas, and local attractions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Snake King, the largest snake farm in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It actually helped,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. Gallagher prayed often. One of the older prisoners at 27, on his knees he asked God for a woman to marry when he got out of the war. No one announced when the war ended, but Gallagher knew, he said. Suddenly the camps were silent; the Japanese soldiers just disappeared. Then food in large cans rained down from Allied planes and the men were rescued by the American Red Cross. He was boarded on the USS Wisconsin, a good omen it would turn out, as his wife, Tae, would come from that state. Gallagher returned to the U.S. and served a total of 22 years in the Marine Corps, ending his career as a lieutenant colonel. He went to work at Stanford University as the director of married-student housing. He and Tae, now 92, had six children. He was elected to the Palo Alto City Council and served as its vice mayor in the 1960s. Gallagher, who today is slim, handsome, ramrod straight and possessing of a keen mind, is one of eight or nine remaining survivors of the USS Houston. A team of U.S. and Indonesian Navy divers returned to the site where it sank with an archaeologist on June 9 to document its remains. The dive is part of a 20-year U.S. Department of the Navy effort to survey some of the 17,000 sunken ships and aircraft worldwide that

These relics of war still safeguard state secrets, often carry environmental and safety hazards and forever remain war graves. On June 11, the divers laid a wreath on the Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreckage. Gallagher this week sat and talked with the Weekly in the living room of his spacious, colonial-style Palo Alto home, with light flowing in through floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto a yard of flowers. A picture of the Pope and a statue of the Virgin Mary were prominently displayed on a table in the center of the room, amid the blue-and-white Chinese porcelain, family photos and colorful paintings. With July 4 approaching, he said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend any time thinking about patriotic holidays. But he does have strong feelings about the importance of dedication to his country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any country in the world that has as much to offer to an individual as America. Guide it ... and fight for it when it becomes necessary,â&#x20AC;? he said. And as he did in the prison camp, every morning and night since then he has prayed.

Airport takeover
Â­VÂ&#x153;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x2022;i`Ă&#x160;vĂ&#x20AC;Â&#x153;Â&#x201C;Ă&#x160;ÂŤ>}iĂ&#x160;xÂŽ
the council commissioned a business plan to determine whether the airport can be profitable. The plan, produced by Kentucky-based firm R.A. Wiedemann & Associates, was predicated on the city taking over the airport by 2012. It predicted that the airport can generate a cumulative profit of either $13.7 million or $16.2 million by 2037, depending on whether the facility is run in-house or by a third party, respectively. At the May 27 meeting of the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finance Committee, City Manager James Keene cited three glaring issues that the city faces when it comes to the airport takeover. First is the issue of deferred maintenance and how to pay for it. According to a letter Keene submitted in November to Santa Clara County Executive Jeffrey V. Smith: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is ... aware the county has engaged in substantial deferred maintenance at PAO, which has resulted in deterioration of PAOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runway, taxiways and apron. The city hopes the county will have sufficient time to fully address the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns regarding these matters before the transition is completed.â&#x20AC;? One thing that is clear, Keene told the Weekly, is that the city â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not going to have a fully modern
airport turned over to us.â&#x20AC;? The city and the county, he said, are still working out the details of who will pay for the needed repairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seems to be a reticence for them (the County) to meet us where we believe it should be,â&#x20AC;? Keene said, referring to the level of investment that needs to be made. A draft transfer agreement calls for the county to make numerous repairs to the airport, including the remediation of contaminated portions of the airport, and to help fund some of the repairs, the November letter stated. According to a report released by the Public Works Department last week, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deferred maintenance â&#x20AC;&#x153;appears to create the potential for safety concerns to arise after the city gains management and control of PAO.â&#x20AC;? A second issue is the potential pressure to increase services at the airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always acknowledged that once Palo Alto takes it over, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably have more demands from folks to do things and feel compelled to be more responsive than the county,â&#x20AC;? Keene said. Third is the issue of the two fixed-base operators that serve the airport: Roy-Aero Enterprises, which manages offices, hangars and tie-down rentals at the airport; and Rossi Aircraft, which provides fueling and aircraft-maintenance services. Both operators have leases from 1969 that are set to expire
in 2017. Once the leases expire, the city is expected to raise rents and bring in more revenue. Exactly how much more money the city could bring in remains unknown. At the May 27 meeting, Councilman Pat Burt asked for a range of potential increases. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Airport Manager Andrew Swanson declined to give an estimate, noting that the city is preparing to conduct a â&#x20AC;&#x153;full evaluationâ&#x20AC;? of the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition and that citing specific numbers would be premature. But given the high level of activity at Palo Alto Airport and the high demand for airport services, the increases could be
significant. The 2010 Wiedemann report notes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a minimum 50 percent increase in rents will be assessedâ&#x20AC;? after the leases with the two operators are reappraised. On the more-immediate revenue front, city officials hope that they will be able to apply for and receive Federal Aviation Administration funding by August. The FAA has encouraged the city to apply for $610,000 in â&#x20AC;&#x153;entitlement fundsâ&#x20AC;? that are earmarked for deferred pavement maintenance, with the understanding that if the transfer of airport ownership does not take place in August, the funding request will not be considered.

Utility Department employees who deal with customer service and currently are on the second floor will be moved down to the lobby, where they will share space with the Revenue Collections staff of the Administrative Services Department. This will allow residents who have questions about their utility bills to get answers and make payments in the same location, Sartor said. The city is also looking to liven up the lobby area by installing a digital media art display on a large wall near the meeting room. The city is now in the final stages of selecting an artist for the display, according to Matt Raschke, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project manager for the remodeling effort. Despite the broad scope and significant expenditures, the project has not faced much scru-
tiny from the council. On June 16, the council approved more than $4 million in expenditures for the City Hall renovation, which includes a $2.7 million contract with the firm D.L. Falk Construction, Inc., and an addition of $141,565 to its contract with WMB Architects, which brings that total contract to a notto-exceed amount of $426,256. The council also authorized a budget amendment that allocates another $1.6 million for the project. Some of the costs will be funded by impact fees from
developments and by transfers from various utility funds and from the Technology Fund. The city contracts were signed last week and much of the work on the first floor will take place in the next three months. The next three phases will then commence on the mezzanine level and on the second floor, with each phase expected to take about 45 days, according to a Public Works report.

Ulele C. Hamway
At 95, our beautiful and loving mother, Ulele C. Hamway, died peacefully at The Sequoias Portola Valley on June 15. She was born on May 29, 1919 in British New Guinea to parents who were Methodist missionaries. Her name, Ulele, means â&#x20AC;&#x153;rainbowâ&#x20AC;? in one of the two native dialects spoken by her father. As much as she disliked her name for its difďŹ culty, she tolerated it because â&#x20AC;&#x153;rainbowâ&#x20AC;? in the other dialect her father spoke was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lubakaidorga.â&#x20AC;? Ulele attended Auckland University College and Teachers Training College. On graduating in 1940, the British Empire was at war. Wanting a change from her life in New Zealand, she answered an ad for teachers in Suva, Fiji Islands, a garrison station for the New Zealand forces. There she met her future husband, Sam, a U.S. Navy Lieutenant who was assigned to Suva as a liaison ofďŹ cer to New Zealand military headquarters. Ulele and Sam were married in San Francisco after the war and eventually settled in Atherton. A long, happy marriage and ďŹ ve children followed. Ulele was an inquisitive thinker, passionate reader, warm and gracious conversationalist, witty writer of verse she called â&#x20AC;&#x153;doggerel,â&#x20AC;? and loyal, loving mother and friend. Her love of community and organizational talents led to her key positions over many years in the Woodside Atherton Auxiliary, Committee for Art at Stanford, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church and a succession of P.T.A.s. Following Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Ulele moved to The Sequoias Portola Valley in 2001 where she found a new community of lifelong friends and new outlets for her administrative, organizational and poetic talents. There, she continued her journey to expand her knowledge and understanding beyond the conďŹ nes of her restricted life as the daughter of missionaries. Journey complete, Mom, and job well done. Ulele leaves her beloved children Geoff, Pamela, Alison, Gregory and Melinda, their spouses Mary, David, and Preston and three cherished grandchildren, Sophie, Max and Stephen. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, contributions may be made to Holy Trinity Church, 330 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025 or the Tomorrow Fund at The Sequoias Portola Valley, 501 Portola Road, Portola Valley, CA 94028. Funeral services will be privately held.

James Henry Poppy, 87, of Hailey, Idaho, passed away on June 18. He is survived by his four children and nine grandchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimâ&#x20AC;? was born on May 18, 1927 in Iron Mountain, Michigan. He attended the University of Michigan where he earned his medical degree in obstetrics and gynecology. Jim married Martha Chandler in 1951 and they lived in Ann Arbor for eight years, where their four children were born: William, James, Susan, and Martha. In June 1959 the family moved to Atherton, California where they lived until Jim retired from medical practice in 1987. Jim and Martha fell in love with the Sun Valley, Idaho area after their ďŹ rst visit in 1961, and they returned annually with family and friends until they became full-time residents in 1987. They were avid skiers and passed along their love of winter sports to their children by enrolling them in the Sun Valley Ski School during their annual ski vacations. The family also enjoyed hiking, backpacking, tennis, and water skiing. Jim and Martha hiked and climbed many of the tallest mountains in the United States. They also hiked to the K2 base camp, and to Gaserbrum 1 and 2 and Broad Peak in the Baltoro Karakoram. And they skied the Haute Route in the European Alps on standard Nordic skis with pin bindings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Poppyâ&#x20AC;? was highly regarded among his peers as an exemplary physician and skilled surgeon, and his patients respected and admired his gentle and compassionate manner. He made an extra effort to stay in touch with friends and extended family across the United States, and he was universally admired for his integrity, sense of humor, and thoughtfulness. Jim derived immense satisfaction from his philanthropic endeavors. In 1991 he funded a trust to provide ongoing support to the Stanford University tennis team. In 2004 Jim and Martha created the Martha Chandler Endowed Scholarship Fund for the School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan, and Jim also established a scholarship fund at Iron Mountain High School in Michigan to provide ďŹ nancial assistance to local students who will be attending the University of Michigan. A memorial service will be held in Hailey, Idaho. More information is available at www.woodriverchapel.com. Memorial contributions may be made in Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name by sending a check payable to the Poppy Family Scholarship to the Scholarship Administrator, Iron Mountain High School, 300 West B Street, Iron Mountain, MI 49801.

chili tasting opens to the public at 1:30 p.m. with tasting kits available for purchase. Both professional and hobbyist chefs have been preparing carefully for July 4 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cooking practice batches, making tough ingredient decisions and designing booth decorations. For the cook-off, teams are split into two divisions, Open and Corporate, in which they compete for first, second and third places. The Corporate Division encompasses teams entering as a company or organization, while Open Division includes all other teams. Five overall titles are awarded: Best Overall, Best Spirit, Best Booth, Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice and Youth Choice. Team Vineyard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which took Best Overall and first place in Corporate Division last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is returning this year with confidence. After the 2013 competition, the judges sent a wrap-up email to all teams summarizing what chili characteristics they had looked for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they pretty much described everything in our chili,â&#x20AC;? Team Vineyard leader Marius Milner said. Milner is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the keeper of the recipeâ&#x20AC;? and adjusts it slightly each year, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m of the unpopular school that likes beans in chili. ...

A Palo Alto firefighter gives tasters some toppings for their chili at the 2013 Chili Cook-off in Mitchell Park. The firefighters came in third in the contestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate division. Chili Society (ICS) rule that â&#x20AC;&#x153;trueâ&#x20AC;? chili does not contain beans. Altogether, Team Vineyard cooked up 19 gallons of chili for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there were no leftovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half of (the cook-off) is being able to cook; the other half is being able to manhandle such enormous quantities,â&#x20AC;? Milner said. Team Vineyard was formed by a group of friends at Vineyard Christian Fellowship of the Peninsula, and Milner had non-competitive chili cooking experience. The team gains additional experience each year cooking an 8-gallon batch of chili for a church fundraiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three years ago we decided, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try a chili cook-off,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Milner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a chef. I just really enjoy cooking.â&#x20AC;? This year, the team plans to add a vegan chili to its arsenal and, at the same time, keep a lookout for Rich Chili, a team largely comprised of professional chefs for Google. Milner said he is also interested in trying some of Rich Chiliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed creation. Rich Chili took three titles last year: Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice, Youth Choice and First Place in the Open Division, a title previously held by longtime competitor Elmo & the Old Quackers. Elmo, which came in second place in the Open Division last year, had a 10-year win streak in its division before Rich Chili entered the competition three years ago. In addition, the team has taken home the Best Overall title four times in its 22 years of competition. Formed in 1992 by a group of lifeguards at a local pool, Elmo & the Old Quackers begins preparing for each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition months in advance, focusing on both chili and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other forte â&#x20AC;&#x201D; booth decorations, with a different theme

each year. Elmo took first place last year in Best Booth category, a title the team wins consistently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half my garage is dedicated to the Chili Cook-off,â&#x20AC;? team Elmo leader Jodi Scherer said of her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elmoâ&#x20AC;? in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name comes from an alcoholic drink, while the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quackersâ&#x20AC;? harkens back to sweatshirts that Scherer and her fellow lifeguards had to wear one year when their manager imposed a short-lived duck motif at the pool. As for the award-winning chili, Elmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team leader Jodi Scherer describes it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;just the right combination of everything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so spicy it burns your mouth ... and (you) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just taste the heat.â&#x20AC;? Scherer, sticking to ICS guidelines, agrees that beans have no place in chili. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-gallon batch last year contained 60 pounds of meat, she said, noting the recipeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature thickness. Scherer created the recipe herself more than 20 years ago, and this year she plans to add one more ingredient: bacon. The team is unsure how the addition will affect their chances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really depends on the judges,â&#x20AC;? Scherer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what they like. ... You never know.â&#x20AC;? Scherer looks forward to seeing other veteran competitors at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cook-off, including the Lounge Lizards, the Palo Alto Fire Department and Margarita Meeta Chili. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a family. ... We see these people once a year,â&#x20AC;? she said. Also returning to the cook-off are Good King Wench & Lass, The Triumphant Toques, Bierhaus and corporate teams Whole Foods Palo Alto, EPA Can Do and the Palo Alto Family Y & The Ace of Sandwiches. Entering the competition for the first time this year are Downtown Streets Team, Golden Slaters, Glennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hawaiian Style Chili and the Hope Center of Palo Alto. New to the event this year is the Stanford Federal Credit Union Ice Cream Taste Off, which will provide a sweet accompaniment to the cook-off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a handy dessert for chili tasters. Local purveyors Tin Pot Creamery, Cream and Green Girl Bake Shop (featuring vegan ice cream) will compete for two titles, Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice and Best Overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a little starting p place to see what people think,â&#x20AC;? City of Palo Alto events coordinator Ali Williams said of the inaugural ice cream competition. Community members can take part in the competitions by voting for their favorite chili and ice cream.

Boomers will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;age differently,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Avenidas director says
Agency seeks more space as it braces for building wave of seniors
A
by Chris Kenrick â&#x20AC;&#x153;boot camp on agingâ&#x20AC;? for Baby Boomers is under consideration at Avenidas as the senior services agency braces for a spike in the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior population. The downtown Palo Alto nonprofit, a gathering spot for retirees, fields several calls a week from entrepreneurs looking to test their startup products on real live old people. Executive Director Lisa Hendrickson said she tries to accommodate the startups whenever she can, figuring that new products and services related to aging could only help as the Baby Boom generation morphs into a Senior Boom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This work, in whatever small way, is going to support development of some great stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fun and helpful to us,â&#x20AC;? Hendrickson said. By â&#x20AC;&#x153;usâ&#x20AC;? Hendrickson means herself and the rest of the Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964 and now turning 65 in the United States at the rate of 10,000 a day. In Palo Alto, fully one-third of the population already is 55 and older, and the proportion of elders is growing. Boomers will age differently than previous generations, predicts Hendrickson, a former banker who moved to the nonprofit world in mid-career and is now pondering her next professional phase. After 15 years at the helm of Avenidas she recently announced plans to step down and spend at least the next year managing a capital campaign to upgrade and expand the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities. The current facility â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Palo Altoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic fire and police building on Bryant Street â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is â&#x20AC;&#x153;bursting at the seams,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baby Boomers are going to want way more choice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we always have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to expect services to be available

to us because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had them available to us.â&#x20AC;? Hendrickson expects Boomers to demand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and invent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; new solutions, just as they did when their now-adult children were infants and they confronted a shortage of child care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those of us who found that to be such a problem got involved, and child care options started to surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe the same is going to be true for elder care to support Baby Boomers finding themselves dealing with family caregiver challenges,â&#x20AC;? she said. As more adults in their 40s and 50s find themselves caring for their parents due to longer lifespans, Hendrickson has noticed a growing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; awareness of concerns related to aging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people are finally â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;getting it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said. Caring for parents has â&#x20AC;&#x153;opened peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes to the issues and is also causing them to become planners. They say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want our kids to go through what we went through.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to have resources in place and identified ahead of time than to be operating in a crisis. To the extent we can help people plan and anticipate, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing more and more of that.â&#x20AC;? With social workers and information specialists on staff, Avenidas is better equipped than most traditional city-sponsored senior centers to help people navigate the housing, financial and health challenges presented by their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aging â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or their own, she said. Hendrickson credits decisions made decades ago to establish the agency as an independent nonprofit rather than as a Palo Alto city department, as well as a strategy of charging fees for many services rather than offering them free to all. Fees now generate 30 percent of Avenidasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $4.2 million budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep them low and try to keep them low enough that almost everybody can afford them, and we also give away a lot of services, too, at no cost,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the fee revenue from charging from some services has made it possible for us to continue to grow. There are senior centers that are low- or no-cost everywhere in the country, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that valuable source of revenue from those who can afford it.â&#x20AC;? A womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bequest of her house to Avenidas two decades ago sparked establishment of an endowment, which has been built up over the years and now generates nearly a quarter of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. City support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 30 percent of the budget when the agency opened in 1978 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is down to 10 percent. But the â&#x20AC;&#x153;secret sauceâ&#x20AC;? of Avenidas is the engagement and diversity of seniors themselves, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could be playing chess or fall into a conversation over a cup of coffee with a retired doctor or a retired Stanford professor or a retired postal worker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you just never know. One common denominator in general is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very well-educated population, and the growth of our programming is a result of that.â&#x20AC;? Avenidas instituted Mandarin classes recently after a group of English-speaking seniors said they wanted to study the language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are folks who are full of life, interesting and interested, and want to engage and learn, and we try to be responsive,â&#x20AC;? she said. Client demand has driven the closure of some programs, such as a traditional crafts shop, and the opening of others, like Avenidas Village, a seven-year-old, membership-funded program to support seniors who want to age in their own homes. In her bid for more space, Hendrickson said she hopes to expand and upgrade at the current Bryant Street location but also will consider satellite venues in southern Palo Alto or elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next challenge is going to be to take appropriate action and try to get ahead of this demographic change,â&#x20AC;? she said.

What To Know About Hearing Aid Batteries
All batteries are not the same. Batteries lose about 5% effectiveness per year as they sit on the shelf, so you should make sure the manufacture date is not more than two years out.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Named national winner of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Best of Home Care Awardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Home Care Pulse.â&#x20AC;?
It starts with our caregivers. We carefully screen nearly 25 applicants for each caregiver we hire. Only the best are good enough for Home Care Assistance! We follow this with extensive training. Finally we invite geriatric experts to meet with our caregivers so that they are up-to-date with the newest ideas about senior care. Hourly and Live-In Care. Our caregiving services focus on two basic types of care: hourly and live-in. The service you choose is determined by your particular needs. Live-in care differs from hourly care in that we provide personal aides on a daily basis. Live-in caregivers are often the best choice for those seniors who need the companionship of another person, but who do not have intense â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the timeâ&#x20AC;? personal needs. At Home Care Assistance we mean it when we talk about providing the best in senior careâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;whether it is on an hourly basis or a live-in basis.

Hourly caregiving works well for many families. In this situation we provide trained caregivers on an hourly basis. Here the caregiver focuses all her attention exclusively on the senior.

Community connections make theater work
Palo Alto stage company TheatreWorks thrives on Silicon Valley culture
by Nick Veronin hile many of the organizations putting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;siliconâ&#x20AC;? in Silicon Valley have rocketed out of the recession, leaving a trail of higher paid tech workers and higher rents in their wake, other sectors of the local economy are still fighting their way back from the 2008 collapse, and some arts organizations have not been able to survive. The New York City Opera was forced to close its doors in 2013, and the San Jose Repertory Theatre filed for bankruptcy just weeks ago. However, the Palo Alto-based TheatreWorks, the third-largest theater company in the Bay Area continues to soldier on. Robert Kelley, founder and artistic director of TheatreWorks thinks his company has been able to weather the storm because of its deep connection to Palo Alto and
W
the surrounding areas commonly referred to as Silicon Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very much a part of this area, this region,â&#x20AC;? Kelley tells the Weekly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up here. All of my experiences in the theater were here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both at the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre, the Lucie Stern and at Stanford. I feel that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real strong connection between TheatreWorks and the community, as a result. And the values of this community are represented on our stage.â&#x20AC;? Kelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local upbringing is not the only reason his organization has become so intertwined with Silicon Valley. The connection TheatreWorks shares with the Midpeninsula and the South Bay were hard won over years of direct outreach through programs and initiatives aimed at encouraging the creation of new theatrical work, because ultimately, as Kel-
ley sees it, that is where the future of the theater lies. Kelley says he started TheatreWorks back in 1970 with the idea that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the art of creating, not just performingâ&#x20AC;? would be heavily emphasized. Indeed, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first production, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Popcorn,â&#x20AC;? was written and produced locally and was about local issues, Kelley says. Since then, the company has grown from a grassroots community theater, to the premier stage company in Silicon Valley and is now nationally recognized both for the high caliber of its professional productions, as well as for its stellar original works and world premiers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as the play that will lead off the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 45th season. When the curtains part at the Lucie Stern Theatre next Wednesday, the audience gathered in the
Palo Alto hall will be the first to take in the bittersweet dramedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Great Pretender,â&#x20AC;? in its fully realized form. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible that some who plan to attend the first preview performance of the production on July 9 already witnessed some version of the play last summer, when its director and writer, David West Read, was working out the kinks on the very same stage, at TheatreWorksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 12th annual New Works Festival. Kelley launched the New Works Festival during the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2001-02 season. It functions as an extensive play and musical workshop, which affords the creators of five nascent productions the opportunity to have their plays and musicals read before a live audience, so that they may see what works, what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and get direct feedback from the theatergoers so
that they might improve their productions. Read is originally from Toronto and has been living in New York for most of the past six years working in theater. He was drawn to the New Works Festival for the opportunity it would afford him to engage directly with a trial audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a great experience doing the New Works Festival,â&#x20AC;? Read says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what sets the New Works Festival apart is that you get a number of readings in front of a few hundred people. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity to be in dialog with the audience and also make them a part of the development process.â&#x20AC;? Having conversations with audience members and seeing what is working and what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t was incredibly valuable, he says, especially when it came to writing
Â&#x153;Ă&#x2022;Ă&#x20AC;Ă&#x152;iĂ&#x192;Ă&#x17E;Ă&#x160;/Â&#x2026;i>Ă&#x152;Ă&#x20AC;i7Â&#x153;Ă&#x20AC;Â&#x17D;Ă&#x192;

jokes. When an audience doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laugh, Read reasons, that means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to work on that joke. The Tony Award-winning musical â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memphisâ&#x20AC;? is perhaps the highest-profile production to come out of the New Works Festival, where it saw its first live read in 2002 and its first proper staging through TheatreWorks in 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are parts of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Memphisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that were changed and modified because of people right here,â&#x20AC;? Kelley says of the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find that very exciting.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the New Works Festival, TheatreWorks encourages the creation of new theater in other ways, such as in its youth programs. Through various summer camps and other one-off events, such as the 24 Hour Play Festival, TheatreWorks encourages children from kindergarten through high school to pen and produce their own plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All our youth programs are based on the premise that doing new work is what the theater is about,â&#x20AC;? Kelley says, noting that one recent highlight in his professional life was seeing a group of kindergarten to fourthgraders produce a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hilariousâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;immensely creativeâ&#x20AC;? play. Kelley also says that Silicon Valley, with its do-it-yourself ethos, spirit of entrepreneurship and highly educated, cultured population has had a profound influence on TheatreWorks. The New Works Festival, he says, is reflective of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;underlying spirit of the Silicon Valley and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a sense of creativity done in collaboration. There is this very palpable sense that the audience is part of the process â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because they are.â&#x20AC;? Furthermore, Kelley adds, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;professionalizationâ&#x20AC;? of the region has resulted in a population that expects â&#x20AC;&#x153;the highest quality of everything,â&#x20AC;? and TheatreWorks has been doing its best to deliver. Of course, Kelley allows, Silicon Valley has also been the cause of some pretty steep competition to the theater business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are getting their entertainment on their tablet, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting it on their smart phone,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge that has grown.â&#x20AC;? However, Kelley is hopeful that there are enough people out there who see the world of theater the way he does. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to hear a real voice, I want to see a bead of sweat, I want to have my heart broken or watch it soar,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we have to offer is intimacy, the risk, the human connection of live theater. I think our task is to convince a new generation that has so many more options for entertainment, that the live experience is not only irreplaceable but also unmatchable.â&#x20AC;?N Arts & Entertainment Editor Nick Veronin can be emailed at nveronin@paweekly.com.

Startup hip-hop
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Palo Alto is so lovely; I wish I were there right now.â&#x20AC;? Kristine Flaherty is sitting on a tour bus, in a parking lot full of other similar coaches, in an expansive parking lot, on a dreary Oregon day. The hip-hop producer, emcee and singer is looking back fondly on the time she spent at Stanford University in the mid-2000s. F l a h e r t y, better known by her hip-hop nom de plume, K.Flay, has recently broken up with her former record label, RCA, and despite her Stanford alumna Kristine Flapenchant for herty goes by K.Flay on stage. gloomy lyrics about drugs, doubt and depression, things are looking up. Earlier this week, she self-released her latest full-length record, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life as a Dog,â&#x20AC;? and she has a prominent slot on the Vans Warped Tour, a countrycrossing alternative and punk festival, which has helped launch the careers of many artists. Back in 2004, when Flaherty was just a freshman at The Farm, she got into an argument with a resident assistant in her dorm, Otero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was talking shit about mainstream hip-hop at the time,â&#x20AC;? she recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a time when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Get Lowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (the raucous Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John hit) was popular. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a great time for radio rap.â&#x20AC;? The argument ended with a challenge from her R.A. If it were so easy to make a good rap song, then she should be able to turn one out herself. Before she knew it, Flaherty was working with a fellow student in her dorm with music production software, cooking up a beat and fleshing out some lyrics. And although she entered into the endeavor as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;joke,â&#x20AC;? she quickly discovered she enjoyed rapping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That summer I bought a midi keyboard and microphone,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I basically taught myself how to make beats.â&#x20AC;? The rest is history. After graduating from Stanford, K.Flay hung around the Bay Area for a spell before moving to Brooklyn. The current location listed on her Facebook page is â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Francisco,â&#x20AC;? although she also notes in her profile that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an apartment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a nod to her current nomadic state on the Warped Tour. For a time she was signed to RCA Records, but said she asked to be released from her contract after the label wanted her to curate a set of tracks that represented one clear-cut genre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either â&#x20AC;&#x153;danceâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;alternative.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, she says, she wants to be able to remain â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little bit of everything,â&#x20AC;? even though its a formula that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work well in the radio-oriented major label universe. She self-released her excellent new LP, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life as a Dog,â&#x20AC;? on June 24 through iTunes, which is entirely appropriate, considering Flahertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ties to Stanford â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a university so commonly associated with the DIY ethos of startup culture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to think of Stanford as a garage,â&#x20AC;? she says, choosing as her metaphor the space where many great bands â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and many great tech companies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have launched. In a way, Flaherty muses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;startup culture and music are actually quite similar. The major steps in the process of development as both an artist, and, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say, the CEO of some new startup, I think they very similar.â&#x20AC;? K.Flayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life as a Dog,â&#x20AC;? can be downloaded on iTunes and Amazon. For more information and to stream some of her music, including tracks from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life as a Dog,â&#x20AC;? go to kflay.com.

As rents continue to rise in the wake of the burgeoning tech sector, those working for companies that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make apps or come up with â&#x20AC;&#x153;integrated solutionsâ&#x20AC;? aimed at â&#x20AC;&#x153;making the world a better placeâ&#x20AC;? are finding that they are being priced out of the places theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called home. Call it gentrification, call it a tech bubble, or call it downright class warfare, the San Francisco Mime Troupe, now in its 55th season, is calling it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ripple Effect,â&#x20AC;? the name of the troupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest production, which is being billed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a musical comedic tale of intersecting lives and cultures that reflect the familiar neighborhood tensions that are polarizing San Franciscans today,â&#x20AC;? and it is coming to Palo Alto on July 10. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latest in a string of reactionary works from San Francisco artists. Recently, singer, songwriter and cabaret performer, Candace Roberts, released a music video on YouTube called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not My City Anymoreâ&#x20AC;?; and musician Hannah Lew released a compilation album, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Francisco is Doomed,â&#x20AC;? featuring scathing rebuffs from local indie bands, such as Thee Oh Sees and Mikal Cronin. Velina Brown, an actor in the SF Mime Troupe, plays â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fiery Activistâ&#x20AC;? in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production. In addition to noting that mimes actually speak and sing on stage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as performing exaggerated motions and pantomimes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brown explains her connection to the underlying themes of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ripple Effect.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For artists, typically an area that other folks might say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rough areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; artists will move into that area, because it would typically be cheaper to live in an area where more mainstream people are afraid to move into,â&#x20AC;? Brown says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When artists move in, they clean it up, they change the vibe, they make it someplace interesting and colorful to be from a creative standpoint, they tend to really uplift where they are. Then, all of a sudden, it becomes a mainstream place.â&#x20AC;? When this happens, wealthier individuals start to move in, and, in the process artists end up getting evicted and rents get raised. Brown says this is what has happened in San Francisco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really an obnoxious process,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly annoying to people who rolled up their sleeves and put the sweat equity in and took a warehouse and made it a cool place.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ripple Effectâ&#x20AC;? comes to the south field of Mitchell Park on July 10. It begins with music at 6:30 p.m. and the main show starts at 7 p.m. The event is free, but the troupe requests that you RSVP online beforehand at brownpapertickets.com/event/715818. Donations will be accepted at the performance. N â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nick Veronin

Melissa McCarthy plays the titular role in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammy.â&#x20AC;?
Tammy --
OPENINGS
involving passiveaggressive apparent armed robbery). The utterly reliable Sarandon hits no false notes, but the material lets her down, which can also be said for Kathy Bates as the fix-it-minded co-host (with Sandra Oh) of a lesbian Fourth of July party. Though nothing much lands here in terms of comedy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammyâ&#x20AC;? attempts to compensate with themes of familial reconciliation (however arbitrary in the choice of grandma over mom or hubby) and redefinition of self. But you can almost feel the movie sheepishly shrugging sorry when the credits play it off with a couple of tag scenes and a McCarthy outtake. We still love you, Melissa. Better luck next time. Rated R for language including sexual references. One hour, 36 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peter Canavese
(Century 20, Century 16) By all rights, the new comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammyâ&#x20AC;? would be the ultimate expression of Melissa McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy. Written by the film and TV star with her husband Ben Falcone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who also directs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammyâ&#x20AC;? should have all the right moves to drive McCarthy fans wild with pleasure. Instead, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to inspire the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is this all there is?â&#x20AC;? Partly this is a function of seasonal multiplex expectations (and their attendant marketing). From a distance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammyâ&#x20AC;? looks for all the world like a big, brash comedy. But seen close-up, it more often evinces a low-key indie, with deep reservoirs of melancholy at best and wan clichĂ&#x2C6;s at worst. McCarthy plays the titular born loser, who loses her car, fast-food job and philandering husband in rapid succession. Walking home to Mom (Allison Janney) a few doors down, Tammy announces she needs to be anywhere but here and reluctantly accepts her harddrinking grandma Pearl (Susan Sarandon) as her partner in crime (at one point, literally) since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pearl who has a car and cash in the thousands. The lazy road-movie formula that immediately kicks in might not have been an obstacle to fun had McCarthy and Falcone been in a quirkier mood. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammyâ&#x20AC;? proves unfortunately unfunny most of the time, and dispiritedly â&#x20AC;&#x153;been there, done thatâ&#x20AC;? as the bickering Tammy and Pearl pick up a father-son pair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one horny, one sweet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at a roadhouse (like everything else in the movie, Gary Cole and Mark Duplass seem uninspired). The ostensible end of the line is Niagara Falls, a liberation destination to baptize the heroes for their new life, lessons duly learned. McCarthy delivers another allin performance, but so much so as to be more sad than funny much of the time. This may be no object for her true, mad, deep fans, but the average viewer will expect the raucous comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tammyâ&#x20AC;? has only in short supply (the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comic highlight being a passage

sst. Three-month-old Pizzeria Delfina is popular and noisy. At lunchtime or any night after 6:30 p.m., write your name on the chalkboard out in front and feed your anticipation with a crowd of fellow trendsters. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to be around so many people having a good time, especially out on the 65-seat patio, where trellises, wisteria, Japanese maples and a wall of ivy cool the summer nights and heat lamps await for chillier weather. If you sit in the sleek 46-seat dining room at peak times, good luck talking. Even outside the noise level can get high, what with lots of children, large celebratory parties and a full liquor license featuring inventive Italian-inspired cocktails. If you are most interested in romance, conversation and wonderful service, mid-afternoon is the ticket. It offers the same menu from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Pizzeria Delfina comes to us from Annie and Craig Stoll, who founded the restaurant Delfina 15 years ago in the newly hip Mission District of San Francisco. They added two Neapolitan-style pizzerias in San Francisco and
one in downtown Burlingame before reaching out to Palo Alto. Refreshingly, they treat Palo Alto like a special friend rather than a suburban dolt. It is the only member of the Delfina Restaurant Group with a full bar and the only one with a spacious patio. Everybody gets thin, perfect bread sticks and a little plate with grated Parmesan, red chile flakes and dried oregano to chew on while perusing the menu. Feel free to ask about all those pesky Italian words. Delfinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neapolitan 10-inch pizza crusts have swirly ridges on the bottom, like the Indian flatbread, naan, and puffy edges. The crusts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too thick or too thin. As for toppings, the classic margherita ($13) sings with a simple tomato sauce. For me, it could use a few more leaves of basil. Know that you need to eat it right away, or the slabs of mozzarella gum up. Same with the 4 formaggi ($14.50). Eight regular pizzas range from the Napoletana ($11.75) to the prosciutto pie ($17). There are two daily specials, great choices for vegetarians, and a variety of add-ons from anchovies ($3) to prosciutto ($6).
Pizzas are good, but Delfinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniqueness comes with its creative use of market vegetables and its salads, thoughtfully composed but not fussy. Try the tuna conserva salad ($10), with fat and creamy butter beans, crisp watercress and meaty house-cured tuna. In the same vein, the Monterey Bay calamari and ceci salad ($10) is dominated by garbanzo beans (ceci), but the squidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flat body and squiggly tentacles are tender, served on arugula with amazingly good half-inch cubes of just softened zucchini. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market vegetablesâ&#x20AC;? could be tempura-fried fava or green beans ($7) to demolish immediately with well-balanced aioli.

ive oil, baked in a gratin dish. One oily crostino didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add value. Attention to detail is evident in other areas. An order of iced tea ($3) gets you a carafe with a disc of lemon, a glass with a lemon slice and fresh Ceylon black tea. Food-friendly wines by the glass start at $8. On a busy evening, pacing was problematic. Green beans came before wine and were followed too closely by salad and pizza. The hot dishes are better hot. The gelato-based dessert menu features six flavors â&#x20AC;&#x153;made right here,â&#x20AC;? which means they do run out. We wanted brown butter and mint stracciatella but cleansed
our palates with chocolate and vanilla (two scoops, $5). The front room is long and narrow, lined by blond wood tables and a full-length, sky-blue banquette on the window side with cooks and a dining counter on the other side. Exposed beams give the room a more open feel, bright where the previous restaurant in this location, the Empire Tap Room, was dark. Toward the end of the Tap Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21-year-run, the patio was its main draw. Culinary archaeologists will remember that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;secret gardenâ&#x20AC;? also was the best thing about Le Meursault, a crepe-focused restaurant.

by Daryl Savage NINTH STARBUCKS OPENS IN PALO ALTO ... Starbucks apparently loves Palo Alto. The coffee company is getting ready to open its ninth shop in this city; this time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the newly remodeled Edgewood Plaza, on Embarcadero Road near U.S. Highway 101. A Starbucks spokeswoman said the store is scheduled for an early August opening. Construction is currently underway for the 1,300square-foot store. The announcement of the newest Palo Alto Starbucks follows the recent renovation of the Starbucks store in the Stanford Shopping Center. That one briefly closed so that workers could create a more spacious store that allowed for a larger customer area. Another new tenant, Genius Kids, is also scheduled to move into Edgewood in early September. Genius Kids is an accelerated learning center that focuses on young children. Enrollment is open to kids as young as 18 months. Other previously announced shops that will be moving into Edgewood are Supercuts and the environmentally friendly Blu-White Cleaners. They will join the two current tenants, The Fresh Market and Chase Bank. TEA TIME ... Too much coffee talk? What about tea? A Canadian company plans to open Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea in early August at 318 University Ave. This downtown Palo Alto location is the former site of The Sports Gallery, which closed in April after a 15-year run. Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea has made quite a name for itself in Canada with more than 100 stores in that country and an additional 17 locations in the U.S. Its popularity may be due, at least in part, to the unusual and large selection of tea it offers. In addition to the more traditional black, green and herbal varieties, flavors such as caramel corn, red velvet cake, and root-beer float grace the tea menu. The shop also carries a vast collection of tea accessories. Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea is known for its trendy, contemporary-styled stores, displaying nearly 100 canisters filled with teas neatly along the walls of its stores. BOUTIQUE NEWS ... Gone from the Stanford Shopping Center is Juicy Couture. It closed last month as part of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement that it is closing all of its Juicy stores throughout the country. That vacancy made way for Kate Spade to relocate its boutique at the former Juicy site. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a larger space for the shop, which is scheduled to open by the end of summer. Meanwhile, Kate Spade remains open at its current location in the shopping center. Town & Country Village continues to add new tenants. Jarbo hung out its shingle in late May. The Seattle-based womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing and accessory boutique describes itself on its website as â&#x20AC;&#x153;edgy, modern and wearable ... with European style sensibility.â&#x20AC;? Jarbo manager Rachel Martinez said that word is getting out about the shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been very gracious. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling their friends about us,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that Jarbo is also getting involved with the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be partnering with Four Seasons Hotel in East Palo Alto for a charity fashion show in July,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Reality check: bidding wars and all-cash buyers
by Hadar Guibara f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in or around the homes market in Palo Alto during the past couple years, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard about the intense bidding wars brought on by too many buyers and too few homes up for sale. What you may not know is that a large percentage of sales are closing with all-cash buyers, many of whom have considerably more liquidity than they need to land the home theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in. For these and other related reasons, the first question on the minds of home buyers looking at Palo Alto properties shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the list price?â&#x20AC;? but rather â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the home worth to me?â&#x20AC;? This question is important, especially if you plan to go into a deal carrying a loan and all its complexities. Home sellers like cash offers, and they especially like offers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cash or otherwise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for more than the price they listed their home for. In asking yourself how much a given home is worth to you, your answer will give an indication of whether or not you have a chance at it.
I
trend, making your first offer the very best one you can isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only logical, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandatory.
What sellers want and how to give it to them
Many factors come into play in buying a home in Palo Alto today. Starting with a strong, solid offer is a powerful first step in showing the seller that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the game to win. Other things that can influence sellers include: s (AVING AS FEW CONTINGENCIES as possible in the offer s ! LARGE DOWN PAYMENT IF YOU plan to secure financing) s !CCESS TO RELEVANT PERSONAL information about the buyer s 7ORKING WITH A BUYERS AGENT who knows the neighborhood and has been successful in placing his or her clients in similar type of homes s "UYERS WHO DEMONSTRATE IN
tegrity and seem to be good fits for the home and property. All combined, these strategies for buying a home in this tight sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market can get you into the home of your dreams quicker than you imagined. N Hadar Guibara is a Realtor with Sereno Group of Los Altos. She can be reached at hadar@ serenogroup.com.
REAL ESTATE MATTERS In a bidding war, know the lay of the land
All other conditions of an offer being equal, many homeowners will sell to the highest bidder. Others frequently go with the best cash offer, because it makes the process so much more simple and less risky for them. There is a growing number of buyers looking at Palo Alto homes who are prepared to pay cash, as evidenced by the following figures. In the first five months of 2013, of the 145 properties sold here, 38 percent were sold for cash. Through the end of May this year, 133 properties were sold with 42 percent of buyers paying cash. These figures indicate a trend, but whether or not youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to pay cash, here is a very good piece of advice: Make your first offer your very best offer! People choose to buy a home in Palo Alto for many reasons other than just the home itself: friendly neighborhoods perfect for families, quiet streets, top-rated schools, the best shopping and entertainment venues all within an easy drive, walk or bike ride. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget overall lifestyle and pride of ownership. So when determining what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer for a home, consider that homes in this market are selling for considerably more than their list price. In the first quarter of 2014, Palo Alto properties sold for an average of 10.1 percent above what they were put on the market for. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up from 7.5 percent for the same time period in 2013 and 2.9 percent in first quarter 2012. Understanding this

Garden Tips Time to sit back and anticipate the harvest
by Jack McKinnon s I sit at my desk here in my garden cottage the tomatoes are ripening on the trellis outside. I am planning the fall borders. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July and the summer is in full glory. Water in the bird bath is important now. The creek a mile away is a long flight especially for the finches and chickadees. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pleasure to hear them come through the forest chirping as they go. I put out seed every morning on the plate I glued to a piece of pipe. Pigeons come too, usually right away, but when the small birds come, the whole garden seems to perk up. I can hardly wait for my Daphne to bloom. It is a rescue plant and completely died back soon after I brought it home. Now with fertilizer and regular water it will have a good show, and the fragrance may very well inspire a poem. With the floor swept and the bookshelves dusted I can go out and harvest the salad greens for tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner. Possibly even with some fresh ripe berries. Here are the tips: 1. Do the hardest thing first. If you make a list of chores and projects for your garden, choose the most difficult to do. When that one is done, every other one will be easier. 2. Spend time with a good book and iced tea. Decide what will make this time special. Choose a book that is worthy of special contemplative garden time. Make iced tea with mint, citrus and possibly a rose petal. 3. Start thinking about harvest time. If it looks like you will have enough squash, cut some blossoms now and make an omelet. Sometimes thinning back now will make fruit bigger as the season progresses. Cull apples,

pears and plums if there are still any on the trees. 4. Mulch to save water and keep the weeds down. Of course, do this after weeding. 5. Prune dead, dying and diseased branches throughout the summer. This saves quite a bit of work in winter and is easier to see when there are leaves on the branches. 6. Correspond internationally about your garden. Find a pen pal by joining a garden club or plant society. Ask friends if they know people who would like to write about their gardens. This makes for interesting and memorable documenting what is going on in your garden as well as your friends. 7. Photograph and journal what is new and different in your garden. If there is an interesting variety you want to remember make note of it and print out a photo. I found a variegated Nasturtium a couple of years ago that has yellow blossoms. It makes me so happy to show it off, even by email. 8. Keep an eye out for squirrels, gophers and fruitstealing birds. There are a lot of crows these days, and I saw a squirrel crossing the street yesterday with a pumpkin blossom almost as big as it was in its mouth. 9. Cut the whips off of your Wisteria. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the seed pods popping in the night cut them all off as well. 10. Pick berries for the table, jam and the freezer. It makes a nice outing with the family to go to a U-Pick farm on the coastside and come back with a few pounds of ripe Olallieberries and lots of stained fingers. Of course you have to taste them a bit too. Be sure to put a little extra change in the sin can when you weigh your pickings. Good Gardening.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 127704-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NEW COACH . . . The Gunn High girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball program has a new varsity head coach, Cass Taylor, who formerly coached the JV girls at St. Francis. Taylor, who brings a wealth of experience to the game, last played at St. Francis High under coach Bill Delaney in 1986. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been coaching for 20 years,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been coaching at St. Francis for seven years and before that I was over at Lincoln High in San Jose. I coached all through NJB for over eight years and I was president of the Palo Alto chapter for two years. I actually coached a lot of girls that went to Gunn, so I am very familiar with the program and the history.â&#x20AC;? While Gunn Athletic Director Jill Naylor has filled the position vacated by Melanie Murphy, who left to take the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball job at Sacred Heart Prep, new Palo Alto AD Jason Fung needs to find a new girls volleyball coach and a new baseball coach. Dave Winn, who guided the Vikings to back-to-back CIF state titles in 2010 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;11, left to become the new head girls volleyball coach at Mountain View. Erick Raich, who guided the Paly baseball program to its first-ever Central Coast Section title in 2011, left to become the head coach at De Anza College. NBA BOUND . . . Stanford grad Josh Huestis heard from the Oklahoma City Thunder and then he heard from Thunder star Kevin Durant. Huestis was drafted in the first round by the Thunder, and was joined by former teammate Dwight Powell, who went in the second round to the Charlotte Hornets in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA Draft. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time two Stanford players have been chosen in a draft since twins Brook Lopez (No. 10, New Jersey Nets) and Robin Lopez (No. 15, Phoenix Suns) were selected in 2008. Huestis, who was the 29th overall pick, is the first Cardinal player selected in the NBA Draft since Landry Fields was taken 39th overall in the second round by the New York Knicks four years ago. Powell, meanwhile, is in limbo for the time being. The Hornets are in discussions to trade the rights to Powell and will not be able to consummate any potential trade until after the moratorium period ends July 10. Stanford players have been picked 11 times since 2000, fourth-best behind UCLA (20), Arizona (17) and Washington (10) among Pac-12 schools. A three-time Pac-12 Defensive Team selection, Huestis established a school record with 190 career blocks, an accomplishment for a player who stands 6-7. Huestis appeared in 135 games, second-best in school history, while his 834 career rebounds are eighth on the all-time Cardinal list. Powell became the sixth player in school history to be chosen in the second round, joining Fields, Jarron Collins (2001, Utah Jazz), Tim Young (1999, Golden State Warriors), Kimberly Belton (1980, Phoenix Suns) and Arthur Harris (1968, Seattle Supersonics).

She made up for it this past weekend at the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships at Sacramento State. Racing against her favorite rival in Arizona grad Georganne Moline, Carter went 53.84, the fastest time run by an American this year and No. 2 in the world. She edged Moline by .16 seconds.

It takes two to capture Palo Alto Babe Ruth city title
by Andrew Preimesberger he Oaks defended their No. 1 seed in the Palo Alto Babe Ruth League Championship tournament, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy as it took a pair of games to decide the title on Monday night at Baylands Athletic Center. After winning their first two games, The Oaks needed only to win the opening game Monday.

Adaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe, however, had other ideas and forced a challenge game with a 15-6 victory. Adaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe, however, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to duplicate that feat in the second game of the doubleheader and The Oaks prevailed, 8-3, to claim the city title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything after that first game,â&#x20AC;? said The Oaks head coach Rick Farr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just came
out in the second game and took care of business on their own.â&#x20AC;? The Oaks had only 10 players (including four 13-year-olds) for both games, but they had new guys step up and make contributions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were missing a few key players,â&#x20AC;? said Farr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gave these other guys a chance to step up and they did it. It definitely made
it more challenging.â&#x20AC;? Daniel Rabello lined a single to left field, scoring Lucas Hu from second base, to give The Oaks a 3-0 lead after the first inning. In the third inning, Jeremy Akioka came through for Adaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ and knocked in Ryan Chang with a single to tie the game at 3.

group.â&#x20AC;? Carter, a nine-time All-American with the Cardinal, was unable to compete in the semifinals of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa because of an intestinal virus. Carter won the NCAA title in the 400 hurdles last year with a 53.21, the fastest time in the world. She also finished second in the 100 hurdles. She then signed with Nike agent Wes Felix at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USATF Outdoor Championships, giving up her final year at Stanford before she was sidelined by illness. Carter left the program with 11 school records and three Pac-12 titles to go with her All-American status. She turned 22 earlier this month. Carter reached the finals by running 55.66 in the semifinals. She was second in her heat. In the first round, she clocked 56.26 for the third-fastest time overall. She now trails only Jamaicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kalise Spencer in the world rankings. Spencer ran 53.41 in Kingston (Jamaica) just two days before Carter won her title. Elsewhere on the final day Sunday, Stanford sophomore Valarie Allman placed 12th in the discus throw with a best of 170-1, more than 17 feet off her personal best of 187-7 that set a Stanford freshman record this season. Allman recorded two throws of 170-1 and fouled in each of her other attempts. She finished second in each the Pac-12 championships and NCAA West Prelims and was 21st at the NCAA championships. Allman was the national high school leader in the discus with a best of 184-2 at the Texas Relays in 2013, where she set the meet
record by 34 feet. On Saturday, Stanford grad Garrett Heath, also a nine-time All-American with the Cardinal, finished ninth in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,500 race in 3:40.28. Leo Manzano won the race in 3:38.63. Heath was the national runnerup in the 1,500 in 2009, a year after reaching the semifinals of the 2008 Olympic trials. He was also a member of the NCAA champion distance medley relay in 2007. On Friday, Cardinal senior Aisling Cuffe ran 15:13.15 to finish fourth in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5,000 meters. Molly Huddle won the race in 15:01.56. Stanford grad Jessica Tonn was ninth in 15:48.31. In the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5,000, Stanford grad Brendan Gregg was 13th in 13:56.18, while recent grad Erik Olson did not finish the race. On the first full day of the meet, Stanford grad Chris Derrick finished second in the 10,000 meters in 28:18.18 and Heath qualified in the 1,500 meters by finishing 13th overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to try to run hard at the front; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I need to practice,â&#x20AC;? Derrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I did okay. I kind of took stock of the situation with about six to go. I figured he (winner Galen Rupp) might sit on that and kick. I got heavy and for about 30 meters I tried to hold him off as he was preparing to pass and it was over pretty quick. I tried to get my legs moving, they were just a little dead.â&#x20AC;? Stanford grads Brendan Gregg finished seventh and Jacob Riley was ninth in the 10,000 meters. Two current Stanford athletes, each a 2014 NCAA outdoor finalist, competed on Thursday: junior Luke Lefebure in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 800 and senior Michael Atchoo in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,500. Lefebure ran 1:48.37, his second-fastest ever, to finish sixth in his heat and 15th overall, 0.35
from the final qualifying spot on time. Atchoo ran 3:48.47 to finish 12th in his heat and 24th overall. In the finals of the muli-events at the U.S. Junior Championships, also held at Hornet Stadium, Stanford-bound Harrison Williams won the decathlon title by scoring the second-highest total in U.S. juniors history. Williams, who signed a national letter of intent with Stanford in February, scored 7,734 points and qualified for the IAAF World Junior Championships on July 2227 in Eugene, Ore., by finishing among the top two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very motivating going into world junior,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year was a little bit of a disappointment. I only got third at youth trials and that gave me a lot of motivation to come back and get a spot on the team.â&#x20AC;?

An RBI single by Ben Cleasby in the bottom of the fourth gave The Oaks a 4-3 lead they would not relinquish. Cleasby and teammate Ethan Stern combined for six hits and two walks in Game 2. The Oaks broke the game open in the fifth inning and made it an 8-3 game when Nicholas McCluskey scored on a wild pitch. Cleasby also came on in relief of Stern in the top of the fifth, preserving the victory by striking out the side in the top of the seventh. The two allowed only a combined two earned runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neither one of these guys has pitched that much,â&#x20AC;? said Farr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ethan did a great job giving us 5 1/3 innings. Ben has only pitched one inning this year and he gave us five outs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could tell the energy level for us just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there in the first game,â&#x20AC;? said Cleasby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things

In Game 1, Adaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe pounded out 22 hits and scored five runs in the second to force the nightcap. Bradley Smith and Ryan Chang each had four hits for the winners.

The Oaks took the opening game, 3-1, before Fontanettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won the second game, 2-1, on a walk-off single by pitcher and player-coach Derek Luque. Emerging staff ace Ricky Navarro started and claimed the victory in Game 1, throwing seven strong innings while yielding only one unearned run on six hits and two walks. Gilbert Guerra finished the final two innings, allowing no runs or hits. The Oaksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lineup had a different look this week due to the loss of one player and the acquisition of another. Outfielder Sheldon Daquioag accepted an invitation to pursue his major league dreams by joining a Canadian Collegiate Summer League team, while former Menlo School standout and Stanford sophomore Freddy Avis joined the Oaks. Avis is recovering from a redshirt season after a pitching-related shoulder injury in his freshman year at Stanford, so he will be filling the outfield vacancy left by Daquioag. Avis made a quick impression by tripling in his first at-bat as an Oak. He scored on a double by first baseman Graham Fisher, who then scored on a single by shortstop Sam Wilkins. The Oaks scored an insurance run in the seventh inning, providing Navarro and Guerra all the offense they needed. Game 2 was another low-scoring affair with Oaks veteran Brant Norlander taking the mound for his first start of the year. The Temple alum threw 4 2/3 innings, yielding just one unearned run and one hit while striking out five. The Oaks scored their only run of the game when a bases- loaded walk of catcher Gary Ellis drove in Chase Spivey, who had a 2-for2 game at the plate, in addition to a walk. Fontanettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s took advantage of a walk and an error in the final seventh inning, when Luque singled in the winning run to end the game and claim the pitching win for himself. The Oaks (9-1) will return to action this Sunday at Baylands with another doubleheader scheduled for an 11:30 a.m. start. N
